A Specific Travel Blog

I know this is a travel blog, not a moving blog, but Hawai’i is a common place to move to and O’ahu is probably the most common since Honolulu is the largest city. We’ve all heard the regular advice. It’s expensive, there are lots of bugs (and they’re huge), and tropical downpours do happen. You […]

Which side of the plane is the best side to sit on? What kind of view do you get from the air? What’s the airport like? These are all questions I have before moving to Oahu but at the time I couldn’t find the information I needed. No one seemed to know, or at least, […]

Honolulu is the biggest city in Hawai’i and the capital so if you’re headed to the islands then this is the place you want to go. Have no idea what to do while you’re in Honolulu besides surf? Not a problem. There are tons of things to do, and there are things that need to […]

This isn’t a “things to do while on O’ahu” list, I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of those.These are the ultimate bucket list worthy experiences to have while you’re on the island of O’ahu in Hawai’i. Some of these things cost money, while others are completely free. Some are easier to get to than others but […]

The roads of O’ahu create a huge circle around 2/3 of the island, making an excellent 1 day road trip. This was one of the first things I did when I moved to Honolulu, the only problem was, I had no idea what their was to see. Even after googling the options I had no […]

The island of O’ahu is probably the most famous of the Hawaiian islands to visit, mostly because of Honolulu and Waikiki beach. It’s nickname is “the gathering place” and isn’t that the truth! People of every ethnicity have come from around the world to live, work, and vacation on O’ahu for generations now. Ever wondered […]

Honolulu is the largest city on Oahu, and in the state of Hawai’i. It’s also the capital. It’s Asian, it’s Hawaiian, and it’s American all mixed together with its arcitecture, food, and diversity of people. If you’re headed to Hawai’i I believe it should be your first stop–especially if you’re planning on moving here or […]

Who doesn’t like a good city skyline? Granted, Honolulu’s skyline isn’t as famous as others such as Seattle with it’s Space Needle or New York City with the Empire State Building (and countless other buildings). Honolulu does have Diamond Head, a natural landmark, which is famous in it of itself and lets’ not forget Waikiki […]

There are so many articles of things to know about moving to Hawai’i, or visiting Honolulu, or seeing Oahu. For me some were true, others weren’t, and many are straight up condescending. I’d like to add a few positive words for you in case those other people stressed you out like they did to me! […]

Don’t want to leave your hotel’s neighborhood? Not a problem! Waikiki is a neighborhood in Honolulu and sometimes you don’t want to ride the bus to get to the rest of the city or island. Other times a taxi costs too much or you’re going to leave that night and want something to do before […]

It’s “expensive,” the flight is really long no matter where in the world you’re coming from, and there are tons of homeless people everywhere. I’m here to tell you that Oahu isn’t really that pricey (we’ll get to that later). The long flight is totally worth it. If you’re coming from Asia you even get […]
